Paddle in the heart of Boston and Cambridge! Canoe & Kayak @ Kendall Square is just steps from the Red Line and paddle strokes from a phenomenal view of the Boston skyline and the Esplanade, as well as other nearby landmarks like the Zakim Bridge, MIT, the Museum of Science, and Boston University. Come visit our boat launch, boardwalk, and landscaped areas for recreation and relaxation to the existing public amenities such as the ice skating rink, farmers' market, and FREE concert series. All of this work is part of the continuing effort to make Kendall Square a dynamic, mixed-use environment to be enjoyed by tenants, residents, and neighbors.

Public Dock

The Kendall Square dock is open to the public from dawn to dusk, so anyone can access the Charles River from Kendall Square! Boats can be dropped off in the 15-minute parking adjacent to the dock, but cars must be moved to a long-term parking area (our garage is the most convenient option).
